Jailing her for 12 months, Judge Paul Darlow said: "You knew she was pregnant, she told you so. It was an attack that involved kicks as well as punches.

Jasmine Cochran was jailed for 12 months

The court heard how the pregnant victim sustained bruising and bleeding from the attack and that Cochran sent threatening text messages and then turned up at the victim's house with a knife and tried to kick the door down.

Judge Darlow said: "You had a knife with you and you used that to gain entry and in the process, you tried to kick the door down."

Judge Darlow added that Cochran had a "poor record of violence" and that he was "astonished" that the offence was only ever recorded as an assault by beating.

Cochran had earlier admitted to assaulting Jessie-May Turpin and also pleaded guilty to having a knife in Tram Walk, Hooe.
